Week Six Student Choice Assignment

Choice 4: John 13:1–17; Luke 22:24–30; Mark 10:43–45. The Savior Taught the Apostles about Leadership

1. Study John 13:1–17; Luke 22:24–30; Mark 10:43–45. Write a paragraph or two about how the application of these teachings makes leadership in the Church of Jesus Christ different from what the world usually describes as leadership.

In John we learned from Jesus washing the disciples feet that we need to serve those that we are over. We have been given the example and we must follow Him. All of the other scriptures followed suit and gave examples of how we must serve those that we are leaders over, if we love those that we are over and serve them then we can be a better leader.

2. Write a paragraph or two about a time when one of your Church leaders or someone in the scriptures served and led in the way Jesus Christ taught.

My young woman’s leader growing up was the best example of this. She did so much to help us learn and grow. She was constantly serving us, even when I’m sure it was hard at times she always put us first and it really made a difference in my life and the lives of the other young women.
